Again I already posted the problem with tire size. I can spin through 1st and into 2nd with properly warmed up slicks that are putting down 50 inches of rubber. Yeah, going with say your proposed 35 will let me spin through 3rd as well. Makes for a very bad day for tires and times. Inhale some more toxins there my friend. There are a number of members who have made larger bars. Use the search button above!

It'd be cheaper to build a locost 7.

That would be the set up. Solid struts, no front sways, run on 4 donuts, SS rear bushings, weld my ball joints, and remove thr front brakes for better weight balance. That way I have the same front end weight as a Honda Accord and the same low cost imbalance as a Tiburon.

Me too!

I'm actually convinced the SVX would handle in deep snow, using four donuts.

I have two donuts. The only thing we don't got in Ireland is snow.
